Warming trends

Ways to keep the chill away, no Snuggie required

Emily Shearing, Metromix

Whether you love or loathe the chilly nights and brisk mornings that are upon us, it’s time to bundle up and stay warm. To help you avoid cranking up the heat (and your utility bill) or wrapping yourself in a Snuggie, we’ve come up with other resourceful ways to keep your temperature up as the weather cools.

Think heart-warming soups and spiked hot drinks, fashionable coats and cold weather accessories and, if you just need a break from the weather altogether, warm vacation destinations on a budget. Or if you’re feeling frisky and want to stay extra warm, pay a visit to Snuggie Sutra (www.snuggiesutra.com).

There’s something for everyone, folks.
